Mine is a G11 though I did use the Losmandy encoders and with the ArgoNavis when set up correctly was sweet to operate - see no diff with the GM8 as well IMHO - I'm sure Gary from Wild Card still sells the encoder kits too AFAIK
I've just installed the Sidereal Tech servo-controller system because I kept away from the Gemini since day 1 - and still use the ArgoNavis & encoders without needing a PC in this case
HTH

One fellow astronomer told me DSC systems were not ideal for equatorial mounts and suggested I opt for the Gemini Go To?
Any recommendations?
